There are 12 wires going 15 directions. What are you trying to do? I'm not trying to pry, but I am limited in what I have available, but I can write out specific circuits, if I know what you are going for.

Okay, see, that makes a huge difference. The taillights are powered through the headlight switch, not the dimmer switch. The wire that goes to the parking lights from the switch is the brown one. Does your license plate light work? Do your brake lights work?

What about the parking lights in front? What about the gear indicator light?

Then your switch is fine. The grounds to the rear lights are good. There is a break in the brown wire that goes to the back. Pull your door jamb plate, and check the harness that runs below it. Look for the brown wire, and check it with a test lamp with the light switch on. Keep moving back until you no longer have power to the brown wire, and you will have found the break in the wire. Repair this, and you will have power to your taillights.
Take care,
